For basic printer functionality, install printer software, and use a system network printer port, such as a Line
Printer Remote (LPR) or a standard TCP/IP port. The printer software and port let you maintain a consistent
user interface for use with all the printers on the network. Using a custom network port provides enhanced
functionality, such as printer status alerts.
